I signed twrp using the same key but it never booted i signed the stock Recovery it refuses to boot to it too stays on the flag lock is unlock but the phone boots normally how can i get the Recovery to boot....it fails to flash in fastboot and fastbootd is now gone

Flash the stock recovery.img and check if you can boot to stock recovery

You mean i flash unsigned recovery to the device that has a custom vbmeta?
Can it make the phone not boot to the system?  The only way to get to fastboot is through the system because there's no recovery and i can only flash custom vbmeta and recovery through fastbootd and i dont have it now

If you sign the stock recovery with a different key than the manufacturer, you must also replace it in vbmeta.

If you used the same key as for boot.img, change recovery_key.bin to boot_key.bin in the command.

Yeh i used the same key or maybe the device tries to restore its stock recovery by itself

Retrace your steps.
1. Don't replace the keys for recovery in your vbmeta i.e leave the default public key
2. Flash recovery.img from the firmware without signing.

It should be able to boot to stock recovery. Confirm this

That means i flash vbmeta with stock recovery key ..... I can't enter fastbootd which seems to flash images not flashable on fastboot....but i will try
